Yashteritsa (Byalic: Ящерица) is the first domestically produced Byalic military vehicle, designed and produced the same year country declared independence in 1690 AN.
Characteristics
Yashteritsa is a multi-purpose armoured vehicle used for transportation of armed personnel, artillery guns and autocannons. The steel armour and ALON windows are capable of resisting several anti-materiel rifle caliber projectiles at the same impact spot, while solid tyres make the vehicle invulnerable to punctures. The 3.5 L turbodiesel l6 engine produced by Faca gives the power output of 135 horsepowers, resulting in vehicle's base model (Type 0) maximum speed of 74 km/h. Originally produced in Sanama, the engine parts are manufactured and assembled in Faca's plant in Mitrovsk since 1693 AN.
